Long ago, we were pure
we knew for sure, just who we were
and who we were, might just be
what i prefer
I haven’t been, a good friend
i never call, no cards were sent
no cards were sent, to you
from me, but that don’t mean a thing
‘cause if this life ever takes you down
if your body meets the ground
i’ll take the highway to your side
in the middle of the night
i’ll even help spread your ashes wide
across the sea and the sky
we shared our thoughts, and many dreams
above the soft, confusing breeze
the confusing breeze, that came around
only to leave
the world laughed, while we tried
to find ourselves, before we died
before we die, i hope you know
you’re still a friend of mine
CHORUS
(Instrumental)
If you ever find your way back home
please make sure that i’m the first to know
i’ll be right here, through the clearing fog
with my porch light still on
there comes a time, for every man
to take a hit, then play his hand
then lay his hand upon, the one
who he did wrong
